All Ophelia Nichols has ever wanted to do was join the EPA and help save the environment. But all that changes when she is assigned to visit an oil rig in Alaska and meets Leonardo McKenna.

Ophelia Nichols is a fresh hire for the EPA, and she’s ready to make her mark on the world. She’s idealistic, driven, and has a suitcase full of her favorite books to keep her company on her first assignment. Alaska wouldn’t have been her first choice of a place to go, but she can’t help but be excited by the adventure she hopes to find there. However, upon arriving to the barren land of ice at the top of the world, she realizes her team isn’t exactly full of what she would call gentlemen, and the guys they warn her about are actually pretty nice.
Then there’s Leonardo McKenna. Working on an oil rig has made him tough, and he likes his isolated life surrounded by his books and his big wolf-dog. He’s got a love for Shakespeare and the classics, and one look from him makes Ophelia realize Alaska may not be as cold as she originally thought. But his life is in Alaska and she works wherever the EPA sends her. A few days here and there might be enough for a friendship, but it’ll take more than letters and a few gifts to have something that lasts.
For Ophelia and Leonardo though, love can exist beyond the distances, and making it work is just one more challenge.

A choice between two bad options is still a choice.
The Therrai healers are summoned to try to heal Captain Jisten, who was nearly killed in the battle with the chaos mage. But the Therrai aren’t the only ones who come through the portal from Okyro, and S’Avetina, High Priest S’Rak’s wife, is less than pleased by recent events. Will Rak’s dignity, and the king’s pride, survive the ire of the powerful mage? Or will the agreement to allow Rak’s son to become Prince Jethain’s heir be cast aside, renewing the political turmoil within the Koilathan palace? As Jisten slowly mends, S’Rak is also faced with a choice of either telling the captain the truth about the kironi magic or denying the baby and the captain what they need.

The Always Cambridge Series chronicles the life of Holly Cambridge through her tumultuous childhood, violent teen years into adulthood, and the consequences that stem from being the daughter of mob boss, Bill Cambridge.

In the next highly charged installment of the Always Cambridge Family Saga Series, all the men in Holly’s life come together in one common goal—to keep the woman they love alive.

However, in the midst of all the personal turmoil, Holly’s first love and former bodyguard, Randy Phillips, emerges from the chaos. He vows to not only stand by her through the trials, but accompany her into Witness Protection and her afterlife, if in fact they make it that far, as both the Mayhue and Cambridge crime families swear retribution.
But in a twist of law and fate, Lorenzo Mayhue is unexpectedly released from prison and lures Holly to the Mayhue Excavating warehouses under the guise of Victor.
Five people enter the storehouse, but only three walk out.

Big things really do come in small packages.

Shamus is small...really small, but being a leprechaun, that’s okay. What isn’t small about him though, is his magic. When his father disowns him from not only the family, but also his clan, Shamus knows the resulting upsurge in his magic will eventually burn him out. Instead of concentrating on finding a solution to his problem, his thoughts remain on the most irritating man he has ever met, Zee.
Zee is a water sprite hiding a dark secret, one that led to the death of his only lover. He can’t let anyone in, can’t let anyone close—it isn’t safe. While he has been able to keep his distance from everyone so far, a redheaded leprechaun with a smart mouth and irresistibly shiny toys tests his resolve.
Zee hates Shamus and delights in irritating him, but when the leprechaun goes missing, Zee is going to have to decide if he really hates Shamus after all, or if he is just lying to himself.

Europe as a land of wine, women and song, and too much of all three, especially for tourists who are seeing it for the first time.
An American journalist named Jason Wycott, full of literary ambitions, sits alone and a little drunk, in a Copenhagen bar, contemplating the means by which he will go about consummating the first great betrayal of his life, abandoning his family in the United States to stay on in Europe after many an inappropriate and wild interlude of love-making with an illicit girlfriend who is also the wife of his best friend. And how does he escape the attention of another young and tempting lass who has found his flirtations much to her liking? This work is about more than adulterous love affairs, however. In it, for example, one gets a glimpse of much else that Europe has to offer for those attracted to the history and scenic delight of the continent—a land from which their ancestors emigrated in an era long past if not yet forgotten.

Many a dream can be realised with a little forethought

The characters in this quartet of stories are intelligent, sensitive and literary. They are also supremely voyeuristic and open-minded. Their intelligence is counterbalanced by inhibitions, which they can only lose by premeditated seduction scenarios, which relate intimately to their professional, creative and cultural lives. The great effort each couple puts into arranging a scenario seems to enhance the quality of the experience. A great source of inspiration for this and other works has been the novel The Girl Beneath the Lion by André Pieyre de Mandiargues.

Sometimes a secret agenda isn’t such a bad thing…

Ever since he was a child, Steven Aristidis knew he had some very complex feelings for the much older Timothy Clayborn. To keep these feelings under wraps, he left Castledowns. Years later, he is an ex military officer turned stripper. Life hasn’t been kind to him, and he’s so over fighting back. He settles into his mundane existence doing what he can to pay the bills. When he walks into his change room and sees Timothy Clayborn, he almost loses his mind. Then Timothy makes him an offer he wants to refuse but can’t.
Vice cop Timothy Clayborn hasn’t seen Steven since he was some lanky kid his father brought home a couple of times. Then all of a sudden, years later, cancer claims his father, who leaves instructions in his will that are confusing—find Steven Aristidis, take him to Greece, and ensure he fulfils a life-long dream. When Timothy finds Steven, it isn’t in a place he’d ever thought of. Can he handle the raw emotions that flare up instantly?
